Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. There is no thought in the Old Testament of reducing all evil, moral and physical, to a single principle. Moral evil proceeds from the will of man, physical evil from the will of God, who sends it as the punishment of sin. The expression "create evil" implies nothing more than that. (Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. |
